With the rapid development of AI technologies—such as in our earlier article A First Look at Using Segment Anything for GIS and the booming trend of generative AI—many GIS professionals might wonder: is there an AI tool that can help with vectorization tasks? The answer is yes. In this article, we will explore how to use an AI-powered plugin in QGIS to automate vectorization.
When extending ArcGIS Python functionality (e.g., using openpyxl for Excel integration), installing supplementary packages becomes necessary. This guide demonstrates manual and automated installation methods for both online and offline scenarios.
Using Python within ArcGIS requires foundational Python knowledge. The following modules support Python integration:
While developing a workflow involving spatial data duplication, an analyst requested help with client requirements:
① Convert individual polygons to WKT format in TXT files
② Merge multiple polygons into MultiPolygon WKT format
Users installing ArcGIS Pro 3.0 on Windows 11 may encounter a blank interface despite successful installation. The software displays no maps, web services, or searchable online tools:

Following our previous article 《「GIS Resource」Sharing WMTS Service for Chinese Historical Maps》, many users adopted the historical territory maps. However, those maps lacked contextual historical figures and events. Based on reader recommendations, we present a more comprehensive solution:
Following our previous article 《A WMTS Service for Historical Chinese Maps: How to Load in QGIS》, colleagues inquired about websites for querying global satellite parameters. Coincidentally, I recently discovered such a platform through video recommendations. The website remains operational and is shared here for relevant needs.
Recently, while testing OSGB data and related software, I explored using ArcGIS Pro for this purpose. After successful verification, this article documents the specific workflow.
In a previous article "Adding Centroid Coordinates in QGIS Using Field Calculator", we demonstrated adding centroid coordinates via QGIS. This article explains the mathematical principles behind centroid calculation for polygons.
When working with large SHP boundary files, exporting coordinates of specific district boundaries to TXT is straightforward in QGIS. Here are three approaches:
